New Series

What should my next series for the site be? I'm feeling soccer.

Choices
  • Euro-nizing the MLS (I make MLS teams more European)
  • Fifa Rebrands
  • World FĂștbal League
  • CFL Rebrands

Any other ideas? I have an idea for a RtMLB redesign. So I'll try to keep with that series.

aahahahahah 5 other votes so far. What would you like to see?

Old Time Football League: pt 2

Hey guys, I have my 2nd concept. It's for the Chicago Hornets. Not to much to say about this either. Enjoy.So that's 2 down. Does anyone read this anymore? if so comment bellow

Turn Ahead the Clock NHL 2

I did this a while back. I came across it the other day, and decided to post it on the boards. Most comments were negative, so I made some new concepts. First is for the Caps. I think this one is A LOT better than my first set. I decided to use the "Weagle" on the front. I wanted to try to wrap it around the jersey. I turned the name plate onto the side. Enjoy.When the MLB did Turn Ahead the Clock night, some logos were made futuristic. I was looking for teams to do, and I came across the 3-D chrome Flyers logo, and I had an idea flash into my head. Just see what came to me.What do you guys think? Comment below.

Old Time Football League: pt 1

I started doing the concepts for this today, once I got the template done. The first is for the Boston Shamrocks. Nothing out of the ordinary here. On the helmets, I put a shamrock, with the respective players number. Enjoy!Comment please. I have another one done, but I'll post it later.

Old Time Football League

Watching the "Greatest Game Ever Played" special gave me an idea for some concepts. I want to make a 10 team league set back in the 1950's. Logos and jerseys will be similar to the ones they used back then. Examples: Logos, Jerseys. So here are the
10 cities that will get teams.

New York Skyliners
Chicago Hornets
Baltimore
Boston Shamrocks
San Francisco
Philadelphia
St. Louis
Cleveland
Washington DC
Detroit

If anyone objects to the cities, post your opinions. I also need team names, so can you please help?

RtMLB: Nationals

Hey guys. I have my redesign for the Nationals. I wanted a classic design to go with a city with has history. Washington had a baseball team from 1901 to 1971, until the team moved to Minnesota. I wanted to use logos from the past. So I had lots to chose from. For the primary, I used this logo used from '36-'47. Then one of the more iconic of logos, Mr. Senator. I put 16 stars around him, because of the number of teams in the National League. I updated each logo with the new teams colours. I left the W cap logo, and added a DC cap logo. I wanted a cursive font. I couldn't recreate a decent script. I asked Speedy if I could use the scripts he created. Enjoy!Now on to the jerseys. I didn't change much. I changed the numbers, and the alternate cap.What do you think? Comment.

RtMLB: Red Sox

Hey everyone. I have my redesign for the Red Sox, that I did a while ago, I just never got it posed.

Hey once again for the 10th team in this little series of mine. Now to a team that teaches Boston youth how to spell socks wrong. Why are they called the Sox anyway? But that's another thread. In this series I noticed that many teams share a red, and blue colour scheme. So if I get a chance to change it, I normally do. This concept is no exception. I changed the Sox midnight navy, to Fenway Green. Appropriate right? This concept may take a wile to get use to, OK maybe a really long time. I mean you cant get use to a colour change after 100 years of history, though most sox fans don't want to remember 86 of them . Enjoy!Now onto the jerseys. I kept them relatively the same, except for changing the colours. Now I have a special green jersey.Not a lot of people didn't like it, what do you think?

Winter Break

Hey guys. I have 2 weeks off school, so that means, I'll be doing lots of art. My first priority is to post work, that I never got posted. So stay tuned for that.

RtMLB: Blue Jays

Hey guys, kind of a "Spur of the moment" concept, for the Blue Jays. Not much of a concept, more of a nicely tuned recolouring. Chris uploaded new WBC logos on the mother site, but this one caught my eye. It gave me an idea for a logo, with the Toronto skyline. So I made it, but I wanted more. So I used it as a logo for a Blue Jays redesign. I remember in 2004 when the Jays released their new logos. I thought they were the coolest thing ever. Now, not so much. It looks more like a rat, than a Blue Jay. I know how much everyone loves the original logo, so I used it. I didn't like the way the lighter blue looked, so I turned it into powder blue, to match the jerseys(spoiler alert!). I also kept the grey colour, instead of red. I also used the script from the 90's logos. Enjoy.Oh and the skyline from the 4th logo is from the logo from the link. Now to the jerseys. I think the Blue Jays have the best look in the league with their powder blue jerseys, and the white hats. So I made that the away set.I wasn't sure If I was overdoing the powder blue, so I made another set, with a different light blue colour, and a grey away, I'll post it later if you want.

C&C on these please

RBK Uniform Resources: UPDATED

Hey guys. I posted my Anaheim Ducks redesign on the boards, and I got torched. I messed up a lot. One thing was that the jersey I crated didn't follow any of the RBK templates. That bugged me, so I decided to make the RBK templates on my template. Here they areJust to prove that they work, I made the Thrashers away jersey.SO if you want to enjoy them with me, Email me and I'll give you the clear version of them!

Updated it with the Calgary, and 2 All-Star game templates. Email for those

I'll try to make football jersey templates tomorrow

RtMLB: Yankees

Hey guys. I have my next redesign. It's for New York's favorite team(oh don't act surprised Mets fans) The New York Yankees. I didn't change much, because of history. I don't like them much, but I understand the history of the team. The primary they use now is like 80% red, even though they don't use red anywhere else. I planned to make the logo with as many stars as championships, then I remembered, they have 26... So here the logo set is!On the jerseys I didn't change much. I added Yankees script to the road, and alternate jerseys. Enjoy.Now I have a special jersey. I decided to have a retro looking jersey. They could wear it for number retirements, or something.So there's that set. C&C please
I'll see if I have any sketches for the next team. I think the Cubs.

Las Vegas Aces

Hey guys. I haven't done much recently. I've been busy with the MLF project. Speaking of that. I have my logos for my team, The Las Vegas Aces. I wanted a simple logo set. Here it is.You guys know me by now, I made jerseys! I used the template the Falcons use
What do you think? I plan to make more from my league. I'm doing my rebrand of the Yankees right now. I'll try to get it posted sometime. Send in your concepts!

Minor League Football?

I've had this idea, and I always planned to do it. Since the NFL doesn't have minor leagues. I wanted to make a simulation football league on Madden, that the rosters are made up by Free Agents, former NFL Europa players, and created players. I want to have 8 teams in 8 cities that don't have an NFL teams. But here's where you come in. I will allow 8 people to be GM's of their teams.They will run everything. Trades, Roster managements, etc.

The format will be simple. 2 divisions of 4. East, and West divisions. A regular season that will consist of 10 games. 2 games vs each division opponents, and 1 vs other division teams. We will have a college football style division championship. The 2 teams with the best division records play for the division championship. The winners will play for the Title.

Each team will have logos and uniforms. Then I will do my best to transfer them on to Madden.

It's just the beginning of the long project, but I think we could have fun with this. Contact me if you want to get in on this fun!

Here's the new site: http://minorleaguefootball.blogspot.com/

Tampa State University

Happy December to all! I have my final products of my fake college, Tampa State. We only had to make 3 teams, but I made 5. I wanted to use colours that represent the state of Florida. So I used the colours from the Clearwater Threshers. A red, Blue, and Sand combo. Here's the Logos.I'll go in order as I did them. I started with football. Nothing special, I used the Manatees script across the front, true college team style. So here this is.Next I did basketball. I used a simple pattern.Next I did baseball. I made the road jersey tan. I also made the alternate, like the MLB's BP uniforms.I only had to do 3 sports, but I didn't stop there. I did 5. Soccer and Hockey. For soccer, I added a new logo, a crest to fit most soccer logos. I also used boating flag patterns in the logoLast is for hockey. This is my least favorite one. Just seems boring to me. I didn't know what else to add. So make suggestions.So that's my fake college. I have a BIG idea, that involves me starting a new blog. See the next post for details.

Tottenham Soccer

Hey everyone today I made my first soccer concept! I was looking through the soccer logos and noticed that only a few teams in the English Premier League didn't have a shield logo. One of those teams was Tottenham, so I took the liberty of creating one for them. I used a vintage logo and part of the MLS's Toronto FC logo. So I think it turned out pretty well, better than some that the league has. For the jerseys I basically just recolored a set that is already in use.So what do you think? Comment to let us know. Well that's all for now. See you next time!

RtMLB: Mets

Hey again. This time around, it's for the Mets. I did what nearly all Mets fans want to, get rid of the black. I did that, and eliminated the shadow in all the logos. Now for the logos. I have 2 options. Option 1 I kept the skyline, and added a banner type thing in the front. I did Option 2, because I LOVE the tertiary logo I made. I drew up the tertiary logo while flying over New York on my flight to Newark. I also kept the secondary, and script the same. So here's the logos.Vote for Option 1, or 2. Also give me C&C to make them better. Now to the jerseys. I changed a few things. I took out the pin-stripes on the home uniforms, because when I say New York, and pin stripes, who do you think of? I also made a blue alternate. and I made the logo, and numbers blue, because I like the way the Rays BP uni looks. Here they are.I also got a new template.Enjoy!I'm trying to make my Red Sox redesign perfect, still some kinks that im working out. Any ideas for the site? comment! Send in your concepts!

Dutch Soccer Redesign

Hey guys, just got back from Montreal yesterday, so today I did concepts. First of I did a redesign for the Dutch National team. I was looking around soccer.com, and came across something cool. A logo for The Netherlands, that I've never seen before. That got me wanting to do a concept. first here's the logos. I kept the lion logo, and transferred the windmill logo from the shoe on to paint.Now what I did the concept for is the kits. I love the Dutch's neon orange kits. So I kept them, and added the "sash" like stripe, like the one from the away kit. I also added more orange to the away kit. enjoy.So what do you think? Should I do more? Don't mind the Raysox name, that's my name on the boards. I also have a Redesign for the Mets to post. Stay tuned.

Korbyn Redesigns the CFL pt3

Hey everyone, I have the third part in Korbyn's redesign series. Today his redesign is for the CFL Eastern division champions, Montreal Allouettes. Like I've said before, I hate the Al's jersey, and he made a good update on it. He also changed the primary to the bird head logo. I think he did a good job, hope you do too.That's all he sent to me so far. Speaking of Montreal, I'll be leaving for Montreal this Friday, and won't be back for a week. So hopefully Kevin will post some more NFL concepts. Speaking of the CFL, the Grey Cup will be played while I'm up there! So I might do a couple of concepts before Friday so comment, and stay tuned.

NFL Redesign Buffalo Bills

Hey guys. Ive been trying to post more lately but I dont have a lot of time. So tonight I have a late post. A quick redesign, but turned out well.

Basically all I did was add black to the color scheme. I used an old logo as the secondary and made a new script. I think the black helps to modernize the teams look, and is a much needed improvement. Well thats all folks!

RtMLB: Rays

Hey guys(and the occasional girl). I got done with my Rays concept, and i must say, I really like it. First off let me say the little yellow thing on the R represents a sun ray, AND a sting ray. It has a double meaning, it not just a sun ray! Further proof, they still have the ray touch tank in right center field, and Aki Iwomuras glove is made of gator skin, because they don't make sting ray skin. But Now onto the concept. I cut off the tail of the R, because some have said it's unnecessary. So here's the concept.The primary looks exactly how it looked when i drew it in my English class. Now to the jerseys. I only changes the away, because I put Tampa Bay, instead of Rays.
BUT WAIT, there's more! LEWJ made me a fantasy light blue rays jersey avatar, and I must say, it looks awesome. So i made a light blue jersey!Whew 5 posts in what? 15 minutes? Well that's all the RtMLB I have to post. But there will be more of other things.

RtMLB: Rangers

Hey everyone, I have my redesign for the Rangers. I wanted to use a badge in my primary, so I did, and i must say, I think it looks great. I added a tertiary logo, in the shape of Texas. I kept the cap, and script, because I think it goes well with the Rangers identity. So enjoy my redesign.I kept the jersey's the same, because I like their set now. This is also my first set in the series, with vests.
1 more! and that's the Rays.

RtMLB: Mariners

I have the Mariners redesign done! I think the team colours are too dark, Navy, and dark green, no thanks. So i brought in Light blue, because it looks good with the other colours in the anniversary patch they used last year. I saw that patch, and had an idea for my concept, include 2 Seattle landmarks. I got rid of the compass things in all the logos too, so hope you like.i wasn't sure if in the alternate, the space needle was in the way. As for the jerseys, they're relatively the same.2 More to go!

RtMLB: Brewers

Hey, I have my concepts for the Brewers. I like the current set, but personally I think the Bavarian type logos are the best, because it relates to the city of Milwaukee. So I recoloured the Bavarian logos, with the new colours, and I must say, it looks A LOT better. But since everyone LOVES the glove logo, I included it. So here it is.I think the Cap logo looks better in those colours. So as I always do, I have the jerseys.I really like the whole set. But did you think I'd do a brewers concept, that didn't include the old retro jersey?, not a chance.That's it for the Brewers. Still have 3 more to go!

RtMLB: DiamondBacks

Hey guys, first of 5, yes 5! RtMLB Posts today. It's for the D-Backs I really like the snake d logo, and the A logo, and I was messing around, and made a solid logo combining the two, here it is.Now for the jerseys, I wanted to do something different. So I made the away jerseys sand colour.That's one of 5 planned today! Comment please

I changed the C, and added a logo. Here it is.Well here's the jersey set, i didn't change much from the current ones. Sorry, not much to say now, it's been a long week.

RtMLB: Padres

Hey guys. I have my redesign of the Padres. A lot of people don't like the Padres logos, and colours, I do, but I decided to go retro with this redesign. I went with the old brown, yellow, and orange colours, and brought back the swinging friar. Hope you like.I really like this. So as I did with the others, I made a jersey set, based off retro jerseys.I really like this set. I might have the Twins posted today, I just want more feedback from the boards. Come back for that.

RtMLB: Astros

Hello once again. Today's redesign is the Astros. A few months ago, I made a concept for the Astros. Then I posted it on the Sportslogos.net message boards. Everyone liked it, one even aid that I should send it in to the Astros, as a shoulder patch. So I Incorporated it into a logo, and changed the font. I also turned the Astros star sideways, to form an A. So tell me what you think.I think the Astros have one of the best colour schemes in the MLB. Also with this, I Incorporated a logo from the past, I will do that a lot in this series. Here's the jersey set, that looks pretty sharp.I like this whole set. I'm pretty busy with this project, and I might not get to the NHL Redesign series for a while. Sen in your concepts, they'll get posted.
